About this ingredient
Magnesium Aspartate is an organic magnesium compound formed from magnesium and aspartic acid. It is used in nutritional supplements as a source of magnesium and may be found in standalone mineral products or multi-mineral formulas.
Magnesium itself participates in more than 300 biochemical reactions and contributes to normal muscle and nerve function, energy metabolism, protein synthesis and maintenance of normal bones.
Aspartic acid is a naturally occurring amino acid involved in normal amino-acid metabolism. The presence of aspartate does not mean that Magnesium Aspartate should be treated as a protein supplement.
As with other magnesium salts, products should clearly identify the chemical form and amount of elemental magnesium rather than relying only on the total weight of the magnesium compound.
